Kickstarter Funded! (kickstarter update 1/8/2015

I don’t even know what to say. I am completely overwhelmed with the support you all have given me. So much of this campaign came down to the bitter end, and I made it my the skin of my teeth. I am truly honored that so many of you came aboard to support me in my efforts to make this project a reality.

I have always been fiercely independent and it is not the easy for me to ask for help. I like the kickstarter platform, because I get to give you something back for your generosity. Many of you chose to receive no reward, and each time I saw that it literally made me well with emotion. Every pledge that came through, no matter how small, made my heart fill with gratefulness. Thank you, all of you from the bottom of my heart and beyond. Your support has meant so very much.

During the month of December while running my kickstarter campaign, I worked 35 shifts, and had no time to do anything other than reach out to you all for your support and work. I have taken a few days off to recoup, and I am now ready to get back to working full force on this project, as there have been a few hiccups.

Many of you know that I had a very intense eye infection in my right eye in the fall. It took three months to completely heal, and I still have a scar that affects my right vision. Because of this I fell a little behind on finishing all of my art pieces. I do still have some to finish, and will finish them this month.

Additionally, the designer that had intended to do the layout of the book became too busy at his regular job to do this project. Subsequently, the same thing happened with the two designers that followed. What does this mean? Well, it means that I will do the layout of the book. The downside is that the delivery of the books will run a little behind. I was hoping to have them to you in March. I am now shooting for the end of March early April. If your reward includes something other than the book or the zine, you will receive it in February. I will send out questionnaires to those backers towards the end of the month.
